Frequently Asked Questions
Your Foundation name is close to another on Sanibel, I'm confused. Are you affiliated?
This has been a hot topic! We are NOT affiliated with
SCCF - Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (www.sccf.org).
When creating our name, it did not occur to us that the public may confuse the two.
We are also NOT a part of the Charitable Foundation of the Islands
(https://www.charitablefoundationoftheislands.org/)
We support and applaud all the good SCCF and CFI have done and continue to do for our Islands and do not wish to take away from their efforts.
Moving forward, we all need to work together for the betterment of our community; strength can only come from combing our efforts.
What primary services do you offer?
Programs and literature geared towards teaching children valuable life skills such as: financial literacy, nutrition & wellness, mental health and more.
Why don't you have an address listed?
We bring our programs and services to you! We partner with schools, community centers and other local program sites geared towards children. We will even come to your home to present to a small group of homeschool children as well.
Why is the foundation named after Sanibel & Captiva Islands?
We hold Sanibel and Captiva close to our hearts. The Founder's family have been residents of Sanibel since 1997. They have lived and worked on both Sanibel & Captiva Islands for years and have many friends and collogues still there. There is a need not only on our Islands, but beyond, to lift up the next generation to be strong pillars of our community.
Are you a 501c.3 Non-Profit Charity?
We already have our EIN # 88-4166237 and are waiting for the final determination letter from the IRS.
